Typically, it's difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements only by seeing specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the G1 X II and FE-3010.

Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G1 X II with its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Canon G1 X II will produce more detail using its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger G1 X II should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
